That's awful. And 670m THB for a walkway? With that money they should be able to renovate the station and add a second track through it.

Edit: The equivalent of $20m USD isn't sufficient funds for a remake of the station. But the bottleneck was evident from the get go and a closure is a major hassle for any BTS/ferry transfer.
